I know supply was an issue last fall when I started shopping for one. The one I bought had literally just arrived on the truck the night before, and they already had 3 calls on it.
So if I went from the stock sport wheels and tire to Rubicon wheels w the 33" Falken Wildpeaks, should I have it reprogrammed for the new tire size? I noticed a significant decrease in mpg(~19mpg--->16mpg) after making the change.
I'm in Fryeburg, near the New Hampshire border. There are tons of Jeeps up here in general, but seems like in last few months the Gladiator population has exploded. Local dealership sells the Gladiators they get in within a couple weeks. They don't have any right now. Hell, I think they even...

Yes, 100%
I just did Rubicon springs and shocks swap on mine this morning(easy job)Yesterday got charcoal Rubicon take off wheels with some 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks AT3W put on. Its like a totally different truck. I absolutely love it.
Do you remember which part # ended up being the correct isolator? I have some Rubicon springs for my '21 Sport but not the isolators. They are only $12 so its probably not a bad idea to get a couple before I go to swap them just in case.
I got the most stripped down 2021 Sport I could find. Black steel wheels. Only option was the 8 speed. I'm coming from a 1986 CJ7 and a base Sport JKU, so I'm already used to the hassle of manually locking doors and rolling up my widows etc. Optioned out would be nice, sure, but it was also the...
